New York Doll :: The Movie, 2006

UncategorizedPosted on March 14, 2006

You may have read about this documentary the past few months as it made some of the film festival rounds. Next month it is out on DVD with interviews with all of the surviving Dolls, Morrissey, Bob Geldof, Iggy Pop, etc. What I personally am interested in though, is the special feature where you can watch the entire twenty minute Morrissey interview. Pre-fame, Morrissey was the president of the UK NY Dolls . . .

UncategorizedPosted on March 14, 2006

Memphis, TN :: Lucero Caveat Emptor: Until this past week, my knowledge of Lucero was based solely on reputation and word of mouth alone -- give or take the odd MP3 track here or there. Shit-fire, consider me all educated up -- instant-expert like. Savvy.In the mail I received both the band's latest full length release, Nobody's Darlings, as well as . . .

A.C. Newman :: 2004 Solo Slow Joint

UncategorizedPosted on March 14, 2006

So let me set the scene. I was driving down Wilshire Blvd. Thursday afternoon, and this song came up on the random shuffle. Nice. I was quickly reminded just how much I liked Newman's 2004 solo debut The Slow Wonder. And here is why: While I really enjoy most everything The New Pornographers have released, I sometimes feel like I . . .

Neil Young :: Heart of Gold Movie

UncategorizedPosted on March 13, 2006

Tonight I went and saw, the Jonathan Demme directed, Neil Young: Heart of Gold Movie .

Topaz :: NYC By Way of Austin, TX

UncategorizedPosted on March 11, 2006

Topaz brings his shit from NYC by way of Austin. This Texas native at first glance looks more like a rootsy guitar slinger than a sax-man, that is, until you hear him blow. I stumbled upon this album in 2001 knowing nothing about Topaz or what kind of music he played...I think someone sent the become a member or log in.

Golden Smog :: Just A Piece Of Pecan Pie

UncategorizedPosted on March 10, 2006

We're going to have to sit and wait a few months until the next Golden Smog album, but the way I look at it is that this just gives you more time to appreciate the old jams. And if that isn't enough for you, there are many Golden Smog related releases out there to be had. Anyway, to tide you over until . . .

R.E.M.'s early IRS catalog reaks of Athens' GA lore. While not not always conveyed directly in the lyrics themselves, there is always a film that covers and envelopes the atmosphere of the songs. None better exemplified that "So. Central Rain."

Brooklyn country-politan collective, HEM, have just released their third album entitled . . .
